Fab work guys. I’m a new fan – lots of fun to listen to the chat and pick up some new ideas. I’d love to hear some more about flash photography as Shelton had mentioned – it’s the bane of my existance, personally speaking. The best I can do is bouncing flash off walls and ceilings to avoid most of the harsh, uneven effects one normally gets. This works for kids parties but not, say, at a dog show being held indoors, which coincidentally I have been coerced into doing Queens Birthday weekend. 🙂 I’m off to find some more Shutters Inc to listen to.
Hey Bruce & Shelton, it’s great to have you both back,
I’ve done a couple of Shelton’s workshops this year, and now listening to Tigger’s comments, they were so good to do, and this show really makes you again think a lot more of:
a. finding the light,
b. what is the light doing,
c. where is it coming from,
d. what is it doing in your surrounds, such as bouncing off what else,
e. what are we trying to achieve with this light.
I am really considering doing the workshops again as a reinforcement, but I am going to talk to Shelton about another teaching concept.
Again, thanks gentlemen for the great shows.
Thanks alot guys, your words of wisdom, wit and wonderful ways of explaining things simply make my gym sessions go quicker even if I do occasionally falter on the treadmill when trying to write something down, just joking!
I think that one of the greatest things I have learnt is to take my time and think about the shot rather than shoot “machine gun style”. You know usual stuff, like the light, the background, what depth of field, do I climb up on something or crouch down low to get a different perspective etc, etc so I am “making” the picture not just “taking” a picture of something that is already there.
Just simple things but what a difference it has made to my photos and consequently has increased my level of satisfaction and helped me become enthusiastic about my photography once more.
